Come on Down! You're the next contestant!!
I realized it's been a long, long while since I had any sort of contest on this LJ, so I thought it was about time to resurrect the tradition.
As you all know, Hollywood seems to be out of ideas. They remake movies constantly, and often cast people in the same role that you would never think of as the same type.
The Contest
Below are a list of 10 pairs of actors and actresses, as well as the movie(s) in which they played the same role. Connect the actors 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon style.
For example: To get from Audrey Hepburn to Julia Ormond (both were Sabrina in Sabrina) in two steps: Audrey Hepburn was in "Robin and Marian" with Sean Connery who was in "First Knight" with Julia Ormond.
The person who manages to use the least amount of steps to connect all 10 pairs, wins! Comments will be screened. The contest will end at noon on Tuesday, July 17. I'll announce the winners on Wednesday. No cheating! In other words no imdb or googling allowed. I will come up with a tiebreaker, if necessary, when the scores are tallied.
1) Guess Who Is Coming to Dinner/ Guess Who - Sidney Portier to Ashton Kutcher
2) The Ladykillers - Alec Guiness to Tom Hanks
3) His Girl Friday/Switching Channels - Cary Grant to Burt Reynolds
4) The Italian Job - Michael Caine to Mark Wahlberg
5) King Kong - Jessica Lange to Naomi Watts
6) The Manchurian Candidate - Frank Sinatra to Denzel Washington
7) Ocean's 11 - Frank Sinatra to George Clooney
8) The Pink Panther - Peter Sellers to Steve Martin
9) Sabrina - Humphrey Bogart to Harrison Ford
10) Casino Royale - David Niven to Daniel Craig
Good Luck!! One more thing - just for angryjonny and nephthys43 - all side bets must be collected on within one year of the results being posted.
